Album Notes & Community Reviews

Camel delivers a deeply melancholic, largely instrumental progressive rock concept album based on the true story of a Japanese soldier who continued fighting World War II long after its conclusion. 'Nude' is an incredibly lush, highly atmospheric record featuring sweeping synthesizers and Andy Latimer's incredibly melodic guitar work, crafting a beautifully epic historical narrative.
